I put the LT285/65/18 E-rated KO2 tires on my 2015 LC about a month ago. Reading some of gaijin's posts about inflation tables, I went to the Toyo website and interpolated a value of 41 PSI. The Discount Tire salesman explained that their computer automatically figures out the correct pressure from the same tables and specified 40 PSI for my setup. Of course, they then inflated my tires to 36 PSI!
I feel like the correct pressure is obviously 41 or 42 PSI, but having checked tires many times with multiple gauges I know most of them are not accurate enough to really be sure what the true pressure is to within a pound.
My question is this: What is everybody airing these tires down to on the trail? We've always just aired our tires down to the 12-15 PSI range and never really gave it any thought.
